1970 Richards stock footage. Progress report on "Park Plaza South" parking garage. By June of 1970, construction was going at a good clip on the new multi-storied concrete garage set approximately between So. 12-13th & Pacific & Commerce Sts. Designed by local architects Lea, Pearson & Richards, the site had its groundbreaking in November of 1969. It would celebrate its grand opening on November 5, 1970.
